Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20622

Customer Comments: Need a fireplace cover with door made with steel and fireproof glass

Our Comments: Below are mockups showing doors made from aluminum, steel and hand forged wrought iron. Each of these can be made with tempered or ceramic glass.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8” from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 48" W (Front) x 14" W (Side) x 25 1/2" H

Before

Before:

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Stiletto

Option #1: Narrow Framed Aluminum Bifold Corner Fireplace Doors in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Flat Steel

Option #2: Flat Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron/Steel Doors

Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details. These are the most heavy duty doors for burning with the doors closed.

Flat Steel

Option #3: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Burnished Natural Iron with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

Measuring Instructions

Measuring Diagram

Instructions:

Bottom Width Measurements: First, find the corner intersection at the bottom by extending a line from the bottom left and bottom right side bricks until they intersect as shown in the diagram below. Make a mark on the hearth where they intersect. This will be the point of reference for the width measurements.

WL - Left Bottom Width:
WR - Right Bottom Width:

Height Measurements: Measure from the tile hearth to the bottom of the lintel (the steel bar that is beneath the top row of bricks).

LH - Left Height:
CH - Center Height:
RH - Right Height:

Post Measurements: I need to know how far back the post is from the Front Line and Side Line that you used to create the corner intersection.

PL - Post Left Side:
PR - Post Right Side:

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
